$158 Cheap flight deals from Seattle (SEA) to Cancun South (CUN)

Pros: We stayed in one of the beachfront bungalows and had our own private beach access, lounge chairs, even hammocks. THUMP THUMP THUMP My spouse is AFAB non-binary, post-chest surgery and was able to lie in the sun without a top -- something hard to do in a lot of beach spaces. The room looked nice and the bed was comfortable; toilet was separate from sinks and shower, which always helps with 2 people. THUMP THUMP THUMP Cons: The hotel next door plays really loud music from mid-afternoon until midnight or 2am, depending on the night. It's not Maya's fault, but the sound carries over the beach. We chose to go to Tulum because we heard it was quieter than Cancun, but this is unfortunately in the party district. THUMP THUMP THUMP I was able to tune out the music with ear plugs, but this meant that there was no falling asleep to the sound of the waves. My spouse had a harder time with it and had to take sleep aids because the THUMP THUMP THUMP was driving them insane. The lighting in the room is very ambient and relaxing at night, but there is almost no light by the bathroom mirror. THUMP THUMP THUMP If you want to put on makeup or shave, leave the room and find one of the random mirrors gracing the grounds around the hotel. At night, forget it. The restaurant turned us away at 5pm when they close at 6, told us to come back at 8. When we got food at 9 it was cold and underwhelming. If the THUMP THUMP THUMP in this review drives you nuts, look for a different hotel.

My husband and I spent 5 nights here in mid February. We had reserved a room with a King bed featuring the private plunge pool. Upon checking in we were told that there were no king beds available and we were given the same room with 2 full beds. To compensate for this, they provided us with a bottle of 1800 Tequila. The room was great otherwise. Enjoyed having the plunge pool and outdoor lounge area, particularly because the pool and beach were very crowded. Speaking of crowds, we had to set an alarm and get up at 6:30am every morning to reserve chairs on the beach or near the pool. This did not really bother us because we were there to relax and went to bed early every night. I enjoyed watching the sun rise each morning on the beach and the beach/water could not have been better. Very clean beach and turquoise water. The beach service was great. Same waiter every day that came down on the beach to take drink and food orders. The burgers, pizza, and nachos were great for lunch. For breakfast the buffets were good. I enjoyed eating breakfast in the open air restaurant by the beach which becomes the Thai restaurant at night. But both buffets offer the same breakfast foods. The Italian restaurant was SO GOOD! Best meal we had there. The steak restaurant was not worth waiting in line for, unless maybe you paid for premium stakes for an upcharge. Tables are first come first serve, do not take reservations and open at 5:30pm. Expect to wait unless you are there early.

The food was good, the people in the hotel were very friendly, dinner was great and the show was very entertaining and it was fun to watch it….

The staff is super nice and the property is really clean. I did have some issues with the TV not working in my room, the safe did not work and the key fob would sometimes not open the door and making me walk across a pretty large hotel to the concierge. The fridge in my room was leaking and unfortunately it’s like a fight to try and make reservations for the restaurants which they don’t allow you to do until you arrive and we could not make all the reservations we wanted as they were already booked. I was finally able to get a reservation and I ate something that was not good and spend one full day in horrible pain vomiting and diarrhea. Hopefully the next person experience is better than mine.

We really enjoyed our stay. The property has been completely remodeled, rooms are spacious with nice amenities. We enjoyed the pool area and the beach club. There was always an open chair/umbrella. Restaurants are varied and delicious. We would have liked one more casual option for lunch maybe. The Fairmont and it’s beach area are much nicer than neighboring resorts within Mayakoba.

Absolutely amazing stay, food was great, pools were great, staff was unbelievable.

The complex overall was very beautiful however, when we first arrived, the check-in service was very poor no signage they wouldn’t allow you to keep your car out front while you were checking in and then we had to go to another building to actually do the check-in which took about an hour the complex was so large and they had very few or poorly communicated signs to find your way around. It was easy to get lost and to get from one point to another point they had a shuttle, but only one and it would take 30 minutes to come by. they had many pools. The water was great. The amenities of the pool was great however, you had to have a card to get a towel but if you didn’t turn your towel in before six, you wouldn’t get your card back and you’d be charged for the towel finally constant pressure to buy a timeshare or spend your vacation touring and listening to them promote itself the hotel timeshare. It was annoying.
